Save the Dates! 2022 Institute Returns to Saint Paul Feb. 9-11, With Virtual Component

Posted on October 28, 2021 by Heidi Simpson

The Institute & Expo returns to RiverCentre in Saint Paul February 9-11, 2022, and virtually Feb. 22-24.

The 2022 Institute will be a blended conference model, with three days of education, events, and exhibits in person at RiverCentre, and additional educational sessions offered virtually later in the month.

Following nearly two years of virtual events, we are developing an in-person experience that delivers the exceptional education our members have come to expect, with careful consideration given to COVID-19 safety protocols.

Momentum, the theme for the 2022 Institute & Expo, is what propels our field forward. When harnessed, nurtured, and built upon, it can spread quickly, resulting in significant growth. Our world and field of work have changed, and now we need to build on what we have accomplished to prepare for what lies ahead.

A blended conference offers the best of both worlds. After an entirely virtual Institute in 2021, many of our members told us they could engage more staff for more education and learning than ever before. We heard you! The blended model will allow much-needed connections with peers, interactive education and exhibit experiences, and celebrating the accomplishments of our members. The virtual component offers even more education on more topics, extended online access, and the ease and cost savings of remote learning.

Watch for conference details, registration, and lodging information in early December.
